Well, Joel, the relatively simple way would be to increase the canvas
size on each photo file by a certain amount, using black as the
canvas colour. This gives you a frame. You've probably thought of
this already:

frame.jpg
I haven't made one of your windows, but I have used your standard
size of 600 x 450 and added 70px to each dimension, adding 5k to the
file size at PS jpg quality of 8.
For comparison, the unframed photo is at:

And the picture is of Me! Taken by one of my students with his D50.
The (slightly) more time-consuming way is to make an html page with
the image set up on the requisite background. You could have 2
templates for such pages, one for each orientation.
